Here I am.

Happy Birthday to the Church

In this enlightening episode, we delve into Acts 2, a pivotal chapter that marks the joyous celebration of the Church's birthday (Pentecost). This text is not merely a historical account; it's a treasure trove of timeless gifts that continue to shape our faith and community today. As we unwrap this passage, we'll discover three profound gifts bestowed upon us during the birth of the Church. Firstly, we explore the gift of the Holy Spirit (v4), a transformative power that dispels ignorance and misconceptions about God's kingdom, even turning moments of confusion—such as the apparent inebriation of the disciples (v13)—into powerful testimonies of faith. Our journey doesn't end there. We'll delve into the characteristics of a Hallowed Speaker (preacher) (v14), examining how Peter's response to the Pentecost event models relevance, responsiveness, humility, and preparation. Peter's passionate delivery underscores the beauty of God's use of imperfect vessels to convey His perfect message. Finally, we celebrate the Heavenbound Saints (v37&41), those early adopters of the faith who showed us the way through their devotion to doctrine, communal living, and acts of kindness and generosity (v45). Their example sets a blueprint for Christian living that goes beyond mere belief to embody the gospel in daily actions. Join us as we reflect on these gifts and consider how they continue to shape our lives and our communities, reminding us that the Church's birthday is not just a historical event but a living, breathing legacy that we are all a part of. Whether you've been a believer for years or are simply curious about the Christian faith, this episode offers fresh insights into the significance of the Church's beginning and its ongoing impact on the world.

Let God Use You.

This sermon in Acts 9 explores the transformative power of divine intervention through the story of Saul’s conversion to Paul in early Christianity. It emphasizes the importance of being available for God’s use, overcoming anxiety about divine assignments, and maintaining a positive attitude. The narrative highlights the role of individuals like Ananias in fulfilling divine missions and the significance of acceptance and unity in faith. Through examples from the Bible, the lecture illustrates how God can use flawed individuals for His purposes and the impact of faith and obedience in fulfilling divine assignments.

Let's Fix It.

In this podcast, we're diving into a sermon centered around the theme of reconciliation, drawing upon the narrative found in Genesis 3. This story, deeply rooted in the beginning of creation, sets a profound stage for understanding the complexities and the path toward reconciling relationships. Through this exploration, we aim to uncover insights and lessons that can be applied to our modern lives, encouraging listeners to reflect on the importance of mending broken bonds in a world that deeply needs unity and peace.

Here I am.

Isaiah 6:1-8 with emphasis on verse 8. Nothing should go undone in our presence when we know God wants it done. Isaiah overheard God voice a need and eagerly volunteered to serve. He said, "Here I am! Send me." What does God need to be done that you would be good at accomplishing?

See What I'm Saying?

Mark 8:22-26 tells a story about a blind man with friends that care. At times in life, we are blind to what God is doing in our lives and the world, but our encounters with Jesus should help us see better. Also, the disciples were spiritually blind and needed an object lesson to help their blindness.
